More than 800 participants in the »Long Night of academic writing«
More than 800 participants in 27 countries logged on to the 6th Long Night of academic writing on June 4th 2020 to follow the University’s first large scale event in a digital form. The live stream alone, with its ambitious panel »In search oft he right tone«, the exciting Open Reading (in cooperation with the German National Theater Weimar) and the amazing concerts by music students and the student initiative Tonraum, was followed by almost 300 people at once, some of which stayed all evening. Online courses and chats also provided an opportunity for spirited exchange on writing, language and speech. Being able to be present in several virtual rooms at once in order to not miss anything, or to jump in at any time, is a positive effect, as is continuing current issues and services beyond the »Long Night«.
Extensive feedback reached the organisation team even during and immediately after the Open-Your-Mind-event, ranging from »pro digital night« over »wonderful mix of live streams and prerecords« to »these readings are a wonderful idea« and »I’m still feeling all inspired the morning after the Long Night«.
At this point we would like to sincerely thank all contributors and supporters for successfully bringing the event, organized by Bauhaus Research School, the University Library and the eLab, to life this year, despite the corona calamity, and thus having it serve as an example for future digital events.
